Right but depending on the exact license, can the copyright holder revoke your right to redistribute?

It's probable that licenses that explicitly allows revocation at will would not be approved by OSI or the FSF.
Copyright law is also a complex matter which differs by country and I am not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, but there seem to be "edge cases" where the license can be revoked as seen in the stackexchange page below.
